WTF: People In China Are Wearing Face Masks On The Beach For Ultimate SPF Protection

While a visit to the beach often involves taking as much clothes off as possible without getting arrested, China’s beach-goers are going for the complete opposite. Just check out the face masks above, a.k.a. a bathing suit for the face, a.k.a. the “face-kini.”

This trend in SPF protection that has hit China’s shores not only protects the skin, but also repels jellyfish and whatever sea creatures that might attack your face. Selling upwards to 25 yuan a pop—or $4 in USD—we imagine it to be a disposable face condom. Did we also mention the whole get-up makes you look like a total psychopath? Hopefully this trend doesn’t spread globally. [dailymail.co.uk]
